The General of the Shield raised a massive circular shield to block the incoming pillar of pure tungsten metal. The shield gleamed under the harsh sun, its surface reflecting a brilliant light. From the rims of the shield, a gigantic barrier manifested, surrounding the entirety of the imperial city. The barrier shimmered with energy, an impenetrable wall of protection.
Upon contact, an explosion erupted. It was so hot, blaring, and blinding that it sent a shockwave massive enough to blow the sand around the entire city into gigantic waves. These waves flew so fast and so far that they even turned to crystallized glass from the sheer heat of the explosion. The air crackled with residual energy, and the ground shook violently, sending tremors through the city.
